You Solar Heating Answare And Reviews

Question: How much does it cost to have solar heating installed?

(Posted by: Elease Milas on 2009-05-10 14:21:47)

I am looking to find alternative means of energy. My electrical bill is astronomical as it is the only source of energy in my home. I no longer use gas heat as my last heating bill was almost $600.00 a month. So, all sources of energy in my home is certainly electrical in nature. I am looking to have solar panels installed for home heating and for hot water. About how much am I looking to throw into this gesture? Anyone have an idea how to get started?

I have made some enquiries on going totally solar and for a hot water service was around $4,000.00.. I am going to totally cover my roof (only 3 sides) with solar panels which will cost around $24 - $30,000.00... Right now my Government is paying us rebates as incentives to become green on a variety of things ; especially since we are in the worst drought since recorded history... My prices are in Aussie dollars, and are Aussie made products... what do you do leave all your lights on 24/ 7, go to the low green light bulbs, a 75W globe can be reduced down to 14W, a 25W globe which I use in the passage and in all bedrooms down to 5W... I have normal reading lights, but I find I only need those lights to just to negotiate my way, so they don't have to be bright.. A $600.00 electric bill per month I find absolutely staggering, your electricity must be very expensive, my average bill @ pensioner rates is around $115.00 for 3 months... Good on you r, go green and let's help to save our Mother Earth... Blessed Be... )O( I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills.

Here are two of many sites that address the question of solar water heaters. You seem to have a very high gas bill. Have you had anyone look at your home to see what can be done to improve your insulation, air infiltration, etc? We have a 3000 square foot house that is all electric. It costs us less that $300 a month for heating, lighting, hot water, etc.
